300 has snagged the third-highest R-rated movie debut after The Matrix: Retreaded and The Flaying of the Christ.
"The violence doesn't bother anybody because it's done in a way that's not offensive," said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of distribution. "People love the movie, they love the originality. The best thing you can have for a film is great word of mouth. When the public is selling the movie for you, that's when you have a real success."
The way my juniors are talking about it, this is going to be this year's Lord of the Hobbits.
Everyone, everyone I know that watches movies in theaters, saw 300 on Friday or Saturday. Some have seen it twice.
